Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Nutella
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers (or chocolate cookies)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Coating and Garnish
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder (for rolling)
- 1/2 cup melted chocolate (for coating, optional)
- Chopped nuts or sprinkles (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Truffle Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the Nutella, crushed graham crackers, powdered sugar, mini chocolate chips (if using), and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until a consistent dough forms.
- Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the mixture to firm up, making it easier to handle.
- Form the Truffles: After chilling, use a small cookie scoop or your hands to roll the mixture into small balls approximately 1 inch in diameter.
- Coat the Truffles: Roll each ball in cocoa powder until fully covered. Optionally, dip the truffles in melted chocolate for a richer finish. If dipped, place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet to set. You may garnish with chopped nuts or colorful sprinkles before the coating hardens.
- Serve: Refrigerate the coated truffles for about 15 minutes to allow the coating to set properly. Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy these indulgent treats.
Notes
- For a richer chocolate flavor, dip truffles in melted chocolate instead of rolling in cocoa powder.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Add chopped nuts inside the mixture for extra texture if desired.
- Allow truffles to come to room temperature before serving if you prefer a softer texture.
